The Hagedorn Company was established in 1928 by Norman Hagedorn and has been dedicated exclusively to serving the farm community.
The company has accumulated vast experience in service to many areas of agriculture, including more than 60 years manufacturing farm equipment.
In 1988, the company set out to build the best manure spreader available. By 1990, they were marketing their first machines to farmers in Ontario, New York and Pennsylvania. By 1992, the Hydra-Spread manure spreader business had become so successful that it dropped all other business activities to concentrate efforts on their manure spreaders.
Hagedorn's Series II brings improvements to their proven, popular manure spreader models and introduces some new faces. The company has beefed up key areas like end gate mounting, cylinder towers and main frames. The rugged drive train gets a boost with a new ComerT gearbox. New end gates (standard on all models) feature higher lift, a streamlined design for easier cleaning and a new shape that nests closer to the beaters for more capacity. Stepped beater models feature a new push-gate design that is stronger than ever, and easier to clean and service.
Axle designs feature new materials and new construction techniques. All models come equipped with a quickattach beater system.

Artex
 |
For custom operators and large farmers, the ability to hold maximum capacity and minimize the amount of time spent in travel to load or unload a commodity box is very important. Another factor to take into consideration is that tractors are getting faster, and with a load of silage or manure the safety of the operator and those around equipment is a high priority. Artex Fabricators continues to raise the bar, not only on the size and quality of equipment, but also to meet the needs of the farmer for a safe operating machine.
The newest member to the Artex combination box family comes in 26 and 30-foot lengths with a triple axle steering undercarriage. It is assisted with air brakes, which enable quick stops to allow for safer working operations for the driver and in any area with traffic. In terms of quick response steering and the ability to turn tight corners, the steering axle will get operators in and out of those tight spots without field damage.
These combination wagons are constructed to accept Artex standard manure spreader attachments—Cyclone, Twin Beater Cyclone and Twin Beaters, as well as all Tailgates for a 7'6" wide box.
These combination boxes have the same configuration as the company's truck-mounted boxes and smaller CB wagons designed to spread manure, and convert to a silage box.
The company's website shows videos of these machines in action.

Harsh International
|
The heavy-duty manure spreader from Harsh International features a wider, deeper body that yields more capacity per foot—about 30 cubic feet per foot of box length. A shorter body—15.5’, 17.5’ or 19.5’ in length—means a drastically improved turning radius, the company says. Ten gauge sides and a 3/16” bottom offer increased life and durability, while a freeze-resistant PVC lined floor gives less friction and better clean-out. Hydraulic drive means easily controlled floor chain speed. The triple beater system and reversible AR cutter blades give a finer, more evenly spread product with better break-up. The triple floor chain offers fast, even unloading.

Frontier Equipment
|
Frontier Equipment has an extensiveline of manure spreaders with 15 models available. Spreader boxes are constructed of corrosionresistant galvanized steel to ensure long life and are designed with a bonded poly floor that reduces main apron drag and enhances movement of the load. For trouble-free mobility, spreaders are equipped with deep-lug tires for positive ground drive and traction.
Three of the models, the 25-bu MS 1102G, the 50-bu MS 1105G and the 80-bu MS 1108G, are ground driven manure spreaders, designed for smaller scale farms, horse or organic farming operations. For an even spread of material, they have a paddle-beater assembly. The 12 PTO-driven spreaders in the MS series offer a load-carrying capacity ranging from 80 to 660 bushels. Frontier Equipment products are sold exclusively by John Deere dealers.

Mohrlang Manufacturing Inc
|
Designed for ease of maintenance and year round use, the newest models of HDC (heavy-duty commercial) manure spreaders from Mohrlang Manufacturing offer deeper sides—now at 44 inches—and reinforced sidewalls for strength and durability.
The floor has been replaced with 3/4“ plastic, which creates less friction when the high-speed double floor chains are in use. Modified chain tighteners offer easier access. The heavy-duty triple beaters drive consists of four-inch, schedule 80 beater pipe, 18 replaceable 1/2 abrasive resistant beater teeth and a 120-hp beater drive gearbox.
The units are available in 18’, 20’ and 22’ lengths as truck or trailer models. Other features include electronic controls in the cab, an outside mount slop gate and a newly designed tail pan.
A quick-detach beater assembly makes it easy to operate the additional attachments that are offered, including a silage hardware kit, compost spreading attachment, grain gate attachment and side extensions.

Kuhn Knight
 |
Kuhn Knight Inc has introduced a new line of hydraulic push manure spreaders, the 2000 Series ProPush box spreaders.
The new spreaders offer ultimate simplicity for manure spreading and feature sturdy and reliable all-steel welded frame construction. There is less friction, and less power is required with the poly sides and floor on the spreaders. The equipment has a consistent spread pattern with rooster comb beaters, which are easily removable for stockpiling.
The equipment's piggy-back hydraulic cylinders and heavy-duty push panel provide ultimate simplicity for manure hauling and spreading. The cylinder design also eliminates moving hydraulic hoses. The welded constructed cylinder design is cleaner, more compact and stronger than competitive designs, says the company.
The all-steel welded frame construction is sturdy, reliable and specifically designed to handle the forces of the ProPush system. The frame also provides a solid framework and includes a reinforced tongue that pulls directly from the full-width axle. The low profile provides easy skid steer loading. The poly sides and floor generate less friction, reduce material build-up and require less power when unloading.

FSI Fabrication Inc
 |
The FSI EzSpred FP from FSI Fabrication features a unique hydraulic system: a dual hydraulic pump containing two separate pumps in a common case to control the floor and the beaters. Each system is independent of the other, although both systems use the same reservoir and full flow filter. It comes in two widths, 7’ and 7.5’, and two lengths of 20’ and 22’. High sides are optional.
The 25-gpm floor motor is a lowspeed, high-torque motor, while the beater motor is a 35-gpm motor. No gearboxes are used.
The variable speed floor control adjusts floor speed up to an unloading time of less than 90 seconds and is used to stop the floor. The PTO controller and the slurry gate and beater controls are also located in the cab control panel.
FSI has also designed a Multi-Use unit that is 73” wide. Both the floor and the cross conveyor have separate hydraulic adjustments for speed. Combined with ground speed, the application rate can be tailored to exact requirements. The floor chains, gearbox and beater teeth are the same as those used on the larger models.

Roto-Mix
 |
The Roto-Spread spreaders from Roto-Mix are available as truck-mounted units for greater capabilities and traveling speeds between loads and locations. The triple stack, PTO-driven hydraulic pumps provide more than enough power to spread any type of product. The simple design of the cab-mounted control box allows precise application rates with the ability to make changes while spreading. Add the optional scale system and operators can accurately measure the amount of product they are applying.
Roto-Mix now has two sizes of Roto-Spread spreaders. The original 532-16 trailer is now complemented by the new 362-12 trailer unit. This new unit has all of the features of the 532-16, but with a more compact design requiring less tractor horsepower. With a load capacity of up to 24,200 lbs (heaped load) of product, it is not small in its abilities.
Roto-Spread spreaders are capable of spreading everything from semi-liquid, dry, and pen packed manure, to all types of compost products. By using polyethylene floor, sides, and back gate, the company has virtually eliminated the corrosion problems associated with typical spreaders.

Pik-Rite
 |
To allow for even spreading, the Hydra-Ram spreader from Pik-Rite has both a sliding floor and a moving front panel design, which sets it apart from other hydraulic spreaders.
The sliding floor is pushed back first using a specially designed hydraulic cylinder. When fully extended, the front panel moves back to unload the box completely. The optional hydraulic endgate is operated by dual cylinders and opens high to allow for high load clearance. The high headboard on the moving panel and composite bumpers on the top rails are standard equipment. The Hydra-Ram spreader is built with corrosion-resistant high-strength steel throughout and composite floor and side panels.
The Hydra-Ram 1190 Manure Spreader is built to haul, maul, shred and spread plenty of material in a single day. The 550 bushel 1190 spreader with dual hydraulic cylinder unloading is designed to make the most of every trip to the field. The inside width of the box is 71", and the depth of the box is 56.75". It has an overall length of from 24'8" to 24'11". Each beater has 16 paddles, with beater speed of 337 rpm. In case the operation does not need a big spreader, Pik-Rite has that covered off. Built with the same style found on the company's larger spreaders, the 490 is compact and agile and will fit right into smaller operations.
This spreader is not to be confused with the light duty "garden variety" spreaders, says the company. The Hydra-Ram 490 is built for the same tough applications as its big brothers. The inside width of its box is 61.75", with a box depth of 28". It has an overall length of from 18'7" to 18'10". Each beater has 12 paddles and a beater speed of 394 rpm.
